Been going there for 30+ years, third owner and each one get better and more friendly!
We stopped to go through here on a Saturday morning. We were a little early but sat and waited till they were supposed to open at 9 am. No one around. We waited till 9:05 and still no one around. Very disappointed. Not run well at all!!
This place is straight out if 1977. The lobby where you buy tickets was dark and damp and sold laundry detergent in plastic bags, how old were those snacks? Cashier very nice. Going thru the forest was great, to hear the wind thru the trees, excellent views, we loved it. Gift shop very old. I bought slides there!! We bought rocks. Loved it.
This was a cool little place. Inexpensive and worth the short drive from Rapid City. The museum itself was a bit dated but the self-guided forest tour was interesting with nice views & the owner was extremely friendly & knowledgeable. Our 6 and 3 year old enjoyed walking through the woods & seeing the wild turkeys & rabbits. The rock shop at the end offered some cool souvenirs.
Educational but the museum and shop need a serious makeover. The museum could be put in a museum! ( musty and outdated). The lady at the desk is very very nice. The all process also needs a better organization, the lady seems overwhelmed easily.
